Sonic hedgehog (SHH) expression by nucleus pulposus (NP) cells is important for intervertebral disc development and maintenance. The lumbosacral disc, the most immobile region of the spine, lies adjacent to the sacrum and is most vulnerable to degeneration. We hypothesized that a lack of mobility represses SHH expressi...

Intervertebral disc degeneration and associated neurological symptoms constitute a global health burden, yet no cure is currently available 1,2. Each disc consists of a central nucleus pulposus, surrounded by annulus fibrosus, and end plates connecting it to the growth plates of adjacent vertebral bodies. The notochord...
